A network node is a device that is connected to one or more networks via one or more
interfaces.
A network node that forwards IPv6 packets.
A network node that represents an end point for IPv6 communication relations.
A link is, according to IPv6 terminology, a direct layer 3 connection within an IPv6 network.
Two network nodes are called neighbors when they are located on the same link.
Physical or logical interface on which IPv6 is activated.
Maximum permitted packet size on a path from a sender to a recipient.
Mechanism for determining the maximum permitted packet size along the entire path from a
sender to a recipient.
Link local address FE80::/10
As soon as IPv6 is activated on the interface, a link local address is formed automatically.
Can only be reached by nodes located on the same link.
Unique Local Address
Defined in RFC 4193. Via this address, the IPv6 interface can be reached in the LAN.
Global Unicast Address Via this address, the IPv6 interface can be reached, e.g. via the
Internet.
The interface ID is formed with the EUI-64 method or manually.
